Serena Williams recently announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian.
Serena Williams has joked that she could name her next child after one of her favourite Disney characters after revealing that she was pregnant for the second time at this week’s Met Gala. The 41-year-old debuted her baby bump on the red carpet alongside husband Alexis Ohanian before confirming the news on social media by sharing a series of photographs that were taken before stepping out.
The couple are already parents to five-year-old Olympia but will soon be welcoming another child into their lives, with Williams thanking Met Gala organiser Anna Wintour for inviting ‘the three of us’ onto the red carpet at the glitzy event. The former tennis star has since taken to TikTok to speculate about potential baby names, reeling off a number of her favourite Disney heroes and villains as she explained her love for the iconic films made by the production company.
“I was thinking about… I don’t know the gender, I don’t know if we’re having a girl or a boy,” began Williams. “So, I’m thinking about some names and I was like maybe I should do something with my favorite Disney characters because I love Disney and as you know, I’m like their biggest fan.
“So, if it’s a girl, it could be like Maleficent, that’s how you say it? It could be Scar if it’s a boy, love Scar, misunderstood a little bit. What else? Gaston, how could I forget Gaston?
